For years, actor and former child star Corey Feldman has been warning anybody who would listen that Hollywood is a place where adults have more inappropriate contact with children than probably anywhere else in the world.

So it’s unsurprising given the renewed focus on sexual assault and harassment brought about by the Harvey Weinstein scandal that Feldman’s accusations would receive renewed attention, considering he made the media rounds as recently as 2016 to talk about how a pedophile ring in Hollywood abused him and his friend, fellow actor Corey Haim – actions Feldman blames for Haim’s eventual death from a drug overdose.

And yesterday, he returned to the “Today” show and, during an interview with Matt Lauer vowed to release the names of six men who he alleges participated in the abuse of himself, Haim and other young stars. The interview followed Feldman’s announcement in a YouTube video last week that he was launching an Indiegogo page to try and raise money for a feature film about pedophilia in Hollywood that he hopes to direct. However, as Lauer pointed out, Feldman’s target budget - $10 million – appears lofty. But the former child star appears determined to tell his story the way he wants it to be told.

Here's an excerpt from his interview:

LAUER: “Why are you talking to me? Why aren’t you talking to the police right now?”

FELDMAN: “I told the police. In fact if anyone wants to go back to 1993, when I was interviewed by the Santa Barbara Police Department. I sat there and gave them the names. They are on record. They have all of this information, but they were scanning Michael Jackson. All they cared about was trying about to find something on Michael Jackson.”

LAUER: “Who you said, by the way, did not abuse you.”

FELDMAN: “Who Michael was innocent. And that was what the interview was about with the pollice in 1993. I told them, he is not that guy. And they said, maybe you don’t understand your friend. And I said, no, I know the difference between pedophiles and somebody that is not a pedophile because I have been molested. Here’s the names, go investigate. And let me push this forward, there are thousands of people in Hollywood that have the same information. Why is it all on me? Why is it, if I don’t release the names in the next two months, six months or a year, I’m the bad guy. I’m the victim here. I’m the one who has been abused. I’m the one who is trying to come forward and do something about it.”

LAUER: “But —“ [crosstalk]

FELDMAN: “Please, I’m sorry. There are thousands of people out there, Matt, who have this information. Any one of those child actors that went to the teenage soda pop clubs with me when I was a kid, know who those people are and the people who ran it. Anybody can go back through history and look at the Teen magazines and say what was the name of that venue they were promoting and who ran that venue own who endorsed it.”

LAUER: “You said you have death threats because you have this information.”

FELDMAN: “Yes.”

LAUER: “And have threatened to expose it. Another reason I think to go to police. That’s a crime to threaten someone’s life.”

FELDMAN: “I’ve gone to the police with that, as well.”

LAUER: “And what would be wrong about going to the police now again? Didn’t work out in Santa Barbara.”

FELDMAN: “There’s a statute of limitations, Matt, in the state of Claifornia which protects people. It’s not that way in New York. It’s that way only where the movie industry is, conveniently enough in California. That’s the seriousness of this. You cannot. Because if I were to go to the police, I would be he one who’s getting sued. Henceforth, I need a team of lawyers and I need a team of security to be around me at all times, to keep me safe so I can get this message done.”

LAUER: “Really, really quickly.”

FELDMAN: “I’m not playing around. It’s serious stuff. I vow I will release every name that I have any knowledge of, period. And nobody’s going to stop me this time, as long as people support this.”

Of course, legal problems stemming from sexual-harassment or -assault allegations are a major problem for Hollywood’s victims, as the Weinstein scandal helped to expose. Yet Feldman, who starred in 1980s classics like “Stand By Me” and “The Goonies”, is wrong about the California statute of limitations on sexual abuse cases – it was thrown out late last year by Gov. Jerry Brown. Still, it’s not altogether unreasonable – particularly for somebody who is not accustomed to having his allegations taken seriously – for Feldman to be afraid of legal repercussions of outing powerful pedophiles.

But after simmering on the backburner for years, the levee of public outrage over pedophilia in Hollywood could very well be about to break. Case in point: Over the weekend, actor Anthony Rapp – famous for his roles in “Rent” and “Dazed and Confused” – accused actor Kevin Spacey of molesting him when he was 14. In an unprecedented development, Netflix cancelled Spacey’s show House of Cards, and the actor has suffered tremendous reputational damage that could threaten his ability to find work.

In the shuffle of the Weinstein allegations, some have pointed out that Bryan Singer, who directed the X-Men movies and other mega-budget blockbusters, has been repeatedly accused of pedophilia, has been able to easily find work despite the stigma. Two lawsuits alleging abuse by Singer were eventually dismissed, but actors have continued to single him out.

Regardless of whether Feldman ever comes forward, it appears Hollywood is finally being forced to acknowledge that both men and women are subjected to sexual abuse and coercion, though perhaps not in the same numbers.

You know... one has to wonder whether even THIS... grown jewish men buggering pubescent boys... will enrage the public enough to actually DO something about it. I wonder. People have become so desensitized over the decades over almost all moral questions. Abortion - the brutal ripping and tearing of a living, growing human being from the uterus - is looked upon by half of the population as a woman's "right". So, why should grown men sticking their penises into boys' rectums garner any further outrage? Sorry to be so disgustingly blunt, but people need to clearly understand what these foul practices really ARE. There is no punishment out there that would fit the crimes of our (((cultural determiners))). We must rid our societal body of their infectious presence - FOREVER.

Corey Feldman and Corey Haim, the victims, are both (((jewish))). That would be problematic for the conspiracy nuts here that claim that jews can only be the rapists, added to the fact that Kevin Spacey isn't jewish.But knowing their sick delusional mindbending, thay will find some justification for that...

Why doesn't he just name names?? Anthony Rapp just did it, and look at the repercussions Kevin Spacey is enjoying a day later. The public mood is different and people are open to hearing who these people are. You don't need 10 million to do that.

Very sad for Corey Feldman.He and his friend were abused as children before they really understood what was happening.Then when they understood what had happened they had no police options.There was no one to protect them during their most vulnerable years, and the other crude Hollyweirdo movie stars looked away for fear of risking their paychecks.And these are the same guttersnipes who have the temerity to tell the rest of us how to live and for whom to vote.It never occurred to them to bring violated children to a place of comfort and safety.They are modern day Moloch worshipers in their own disgusting way.Hollyweird delenda est.It was all too much for his friend Corey Haim, and so Corey Feldman had to carry the terrible, painful burden all this time.What awful conversations they must have had while growing up, remembering those confusing and terrifying days, trying to understand why, and how adults abused them at will with the knowledge of so many others.And all the cowardly California legislators who bend over backwards for violent illegals wrote laws to protect the most vile perpetrators who walk among us, while abandoning the children they violated.Any legislator who protected these vipers for so much as a parking ticket should be thrown out of office and into jail as accessories to child abuse.

'Any legislator who protected these vipers for so much as a parking ticket should be thrown out of office and into jail as accessories to child abuse.'Maybe they should just be gang-sodomized so they really get to know what they've protected.

+1, but pedos can't be cured by jail. The only known cure is shock treatment. No, I'm not talkin' electro-shock therapy. This cure was discovered in the Land that had an elite warrior class with spiffy black uniforms by Hugo Boss. Their shock treatment involved dragging these pedos to the street like garbage then administering a shock to the face with the cold, hard steel of a K98 butt plate. The cure was immediate.

$10m for Feldman's Hollywood pedo movie may seem a lot to us, but with so many actors who publicly hinted at their intentions and wishes for a cleaner Hollywood, this amount is minuscule. Where are they??? Please put your money where your mouth is!

Unlike our "leaders," Putin has a low tolerance level for things like a criminal organization posing as a cultural institution.Hollyweird would not last a month in Russia.The likes of Weinstein would vanish into thin air.Putin does not allow homosexual culture the highly visible and powerful place that it has in the West, nor does he allow gay culture to influence children growing up, although though there is a sizable gay Russian community.For this Putin has been accused of persecuting gays, but isn't that the same with all minority groups who want special treatment and compensation.They start out as victims and then see everyone else as a potential persecutor in need of re-education.Russia also has an annual ceremony for large families held at the Kremlin, unlike our "leaders" who do everything in their power to destroy families.Putin understands that Russia's future is completely dependent on its youngest and yet unborn citizens, so he continually takes steps to improve their lot.

No one to protect them? How about parents? Feldman has spoken about other child actors whose parents would not allow them to attend the parties and the venues where this was going on.

How about parents who could have taken action if they were told by their children? Or who surely had to have some qualms about allowing their young children to romp with Hollywood...not like Hollywood hasn't ALWAYS been a cesspool of hedonism and vice, huh.

And how about those male actors, just like all these women, who have for years kept silent while they made their millions, some actually accepting monetary settlements to keep quiet. Where is the morality in that? How is that protecting the hundreds of others who were abused over the years as they said nothing, their careers and bank accounts continuing to grow?

As Feldman says, the wealthy Hollywood moguls just file a lawsuit and wipe you out as the leftist judges consistently rule in favor of the moguls, not to mention the real possibility of dying. Still, if Feldman knows so many former child actors who were sexually abused, then why not gather them all up and report en masse...protection in numbers. Yes, it's humiliating in the case of pedophilia (not so much with the women, many who have had every physical enhancement possible to make themselves beautiful and ageless, three or more husbands, constant sexual exploits, and starring in films where they engage in the exact behavior with men that they decry as harassment), but when one is an adult, it's time to face the reality and take a stand.

How come all these Hollywood elites can come across so legitimate in their leftist causes, such as global warming, racism, etc., but they wouldn't DARE admit they were sexually assaulted and have a real impact on something that is actually true???

Yes, many or maybe even most of the parents were negligent, but that does not go far enough to weed out the perps.Those who made heaps of money knowing that children were being abused and psychologically ruined were negligent.Those who thought about speaking out but were silenced by a nice, fat check were negligent.Those lawyers who threatened the full force of the law against those whom they thought would speak out were negligent.Actually, those lawyers should be publicly identified, financially ruined, and disbarred as participants of child abuse.And hit with the full force of the law.Producers, cameramen, caterers, technicians, administrators, etc., who were aware and did nothing were negligent.And were are the Unions on all this?Most or all of the Hollyweird types belong to one Union or another, so if the Unions were knowledgeable in anyway they were negligent.That whole town is a filthy sewer that should be walled and flooded.They slime us all in one way or another with the sludge they spew nonstop all over this country and beyond.And you ask how do they come across as legitimate when promoting leftist causes?Because they do the only thing they know how to do -- act.They act smart even though they are stupid, they act like they understand science even though they are barely literate, they act moral even though they are sleazy guttersnipes, they act like they are sophisticated even though they promote cultural decay.They are professional fakes.They live their lives pretending to be somebody else.They are little better than monkeys and myna birds.Hollyweird delenda est.

It's not just Hollywood. It's everywhere. It's the human heart. It's a society that has brainwashed the young to believe they merely happened, evolved, and that there is accountability to nothing or no one.

Washington DC is the same. ACTING, lies, hedonism, materialism, power-starved political deviants with plenty of the sexual perversion thrown in. Corporate America is full of them. Government at every level is full of them.

Every state, every city, every town has them. And, it's obvious from your list of the negligent folks that enabled the Hollywood pedophilia (and all those who also enabled the "casting couch," which includes many of the so-called victims) that they far outnumber those being exploited.

A rotting tree can stand for a while until the decay is so pervasive that it falls of its own weight.The perversions that were so boringly common and widely known in the biggest unflushed toilet on Earth -- also known as Hollyweird -- had only a matter of time before the rot would destroy every healthy person it touched.The rot is spiraling downward into its own epicenter, and will start to accelerate and collapse.There is not enough healthy structure to support the rot.It remains to be seen who is the vector, who is infected, who is the carrier, who has developed an immunity in the midst of it all, who (like Feldman ) survived after being sickened but has to live with the disabilities, those who willfully transmit perversions to sate a sick need, knowing very well that it will destroy someone, and who has tried to clean out the walking talking diseases. Hollyweird has to be analyzed like a pox.Their movies are starting to mirror their sleazy lifestyles in a very weird way.The zombies who bite and drag down healthy people, the degenerates who lure unsuspecting travellers to their deaths, the stalking, kidnapping, and destruction of another person to sate some compulsive and illegal need, who knows what else they put on the screen that is actually what they do amongst themselves.Hollyweird delenda est.

Thank you for this compassionate & reflective post regarding these CHILD VICTIMS...Feldman has said he gave statements to SantaBarbara PD to no avail.. The posts of some here are disgusting & derogatory towards the victims because they "wouldn't DO anything" about their abuse...And yet....These same ZHrs are here regularly whinging about hillary / Obomber / Comey et al... without DOING anything about it. It takes BALLS to stand up to these people and I for one applaud him & hope he eventually gets the justice & closure he deserves. I also hope he & his family stay safe....Shame on you who question his integrity, it's people like you who support these crimes albeit indirectly.... "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

The children who were abused did not have the intellectual resources to find allies.Don't forget that they were surrounded by these creeps so there was no healthy frame of reference.And furthermore, Feldman mentioned that he did try the police but got nowhere.That is a child's last line of defense, so when that fails they succumb to despair. Look at how many people in NYC participated in Weinstein's perverted behavior at the restaurant where the Italian model was harassed.Wait staff, admins, cabbies, probably a few customers, etc., knew the degenerate deal and did nothing.There was not one red blooded American male or female in the building.Their veins carried roach blood.

The public' mood is fickle and chooses to believe what they want to believe. There is no way people were ignorant of this happening for years, they just wanted to be obliviously entertained.

Like Albert Speer, who cast his eyes away from atrocities, to pursue his love of architecture, he knew it would be Impossible to achieve his dreams without the support of the Party. Then when they fell, he went with them.

We all face moral dilemmas and seek justification for our choices. Whether we stole from the tip jar or allowed pedophiles to continue their abuse, the only choice is to put right where we went wrong. Even if it means death because there are far worse things than death. That is the only path to personal freedom.

The most fascinating thing in the Spacey/Rapp imbroglio is how the gheys en masse told Spacey "You can't hide under the rainbow flag!" while George Takei mumbled something "consensual"...remember, Rapp was 14 at the time.So I'm sitting there saying wait, wut? ;-)

I saw an interview with Speer spoken entirely in French. He seemed to speak it effortlessly (from my cursory knowledge) and quite intelligent. While not condoning any atrocities, I think it is worth examining whether there were valid reasons other than ambition why many highly intelligent people (i.e. Werner von Braun, Heisenberg, etc. - the list is long) supported the Reich.

>claim that jews can only be the rapistsWho the fuck ever said that? Jews fuck little Jewish boys all the time too. There was a big write up about rabbinic abuse of presumably jewish boys a few years ago. Rabbi got caught fucking a 10 year old boy in the sauna, and when the guy who caught them stopped the rape, the rabbi said "How DARE you interrupt us!"Talmudic Judaism is a memetic disease, just like Islam. Both must be stopped, or at least confined to an area where they can do no harm to those outside their respective cults.

What to do then with the scores of catholic priest that sexually harassed children. You seem to have forgotten that it was a big problem, including the massive cover-up by the Catholic Church.I mean: it's not about religion, it's about abuse of power.And your story about the rabbi saying saying "How DARE you interrupt us!" while raping a boy in a sauna, yeaaaah, doesn't sound really realistic, so i'd need a source for that. A credible one, not a blog of some nutcase or other hearsay.

How about the Jewish publication Forward which references the New York Times?That is how a community encompassing many people who criticized the “questionable” behavior of the incredibly talented and successful Rabbi Jonathan Rosenblatt — whose trips to the sauna with young Jews were recently chronicled by the New York Times — could allow decades to pass without significant change.Read more: http://forward.com/opinion/309487/dont-blame-the-sauna-rabbi-blame-orth…

"Jews fuck little Jewish boys all the time too."This is a critical point.This is not about Jews. It is about a subset within the Jewish community that has been around for all of history, so far as I can tell. Let's remember, Jesus was Jewish. And those who arranged for his crucifixion because he challenged their legitimacy are these same people.The closest term I have heard for the perpetrators is probably zionists. Those who genuinely believe in Jewish (their Jews, of course, not any old Jew) destiny to lead the world from behind the scenes. This is who we are talking about.Another example important to keep in mind is World War II Germany. Regardless of what one believes regarding the truth of the Holocaust, there is no doubt that this group of people created a situation where innocent German Jews bore the anger and the retribution for their acts, while they conveniently settled in other countries to profit from the warfare.All Jews are not guilty of these sins. And those that commit them have no loyalty to those who share their religion any more than other people they oppress. These people have no empathy at all. That's why they have been so successful, and remain to this day so dangerous.
